Maleh You Make My Heart Go Zip -

I’ll admit, it was exhausting. But also… contagious. One afternoon, while we raced to build a paper airplane that could ride the wind, I found myself laughing harder than I had in years. You weren’t trying to win; you were trying to uncover gravity’s secrets. Your joy in the process—not the prize—made my heart zip. But zip isn’t always a sound—it’s a pause . Like the moment between pulling a zipper shut or releasing it. That’s when I learned how to listen. You didn’t talk much about your past, but you filled the silence with curiosity for mine. When I asked why, you said, “Stories are like zippers. They don’t need to be perfect—they just need to hold what matters.”
